The short answer
Konstantinos Tzolakis (£4.5m) is the biggest goalkeeper riser from the early Gameweek 1 matches.
Hull beat Manchester United 2-0 and Tzolakis kept the clean sheet.
Reuters also highlighted his saves, including an important stop from Bryan Mbeumo.
Updated ranking
| Tier | Goalkeeper | View |
|---|---|---|
| Premium | David Raya | Safest elite-defence route |
| Budget | Antonin Kinsky | Strong role/value |
| Budget | Bart Verbruggen | Rotation/value route |
| Budget riser | Konstantinos Tzolakis | Clean sheet + save route confirmed |
| Villa watch | Martínez / Suzuki | Hierarchy still needs clarity |
Why Tzolakis rises
A promoted goalkeeper does not need a clean sheet every week.
His ideal scoring profile is:
- Regular saves
- Bonus potential
- Occasional clean sheets
- Penalty-save upside
Hull's GW1 performance showed that route can work.

OneFPL verdict
Raya remains safest, but Tzolakis now belongs in the genuine £4.5m conversation rather than the preseason watchlist.
